What is the value of love? In “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare “a pair of star-crossed lovers” go through a lot in order to keep their love fire burning. Romeo meets Juliet at the Capulet’s feast and falls in love with her. Even though Juliet knows that the one that loves her is a Montague, she can’t stop thinking about him. But when Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin, everything changes. Romeo was banished from Verona. Now the only thing they have that holds their love together is trust. But their love is too strong to give into those obstacles. So they’ll just have to get through these times together. Sometimes people do struggle for true love.
Montagues and Capulets have been foes for decades. And when Capulet finds out that his daughter is in love with the son of the Montague, he becomes furious. Juliet’s father yells at her and pushes her around like she is not his own daughter. He forces his daughter to marry Paris, a relative of the Prince of Verona. Juliet has to stand the horrifying tirades of her father. But of course she can’t marry the one she doesn’t love. And why should the rivalry of the two families get in the way of Romeo and Juliet’s love. It just doesn’t make sense. Love isn’t something you can decide or forget about. Love is like a war: easy to begin, hard to end. And it’s up to the people who are in love to decide what to do with their special feelings.
Romeo had a best friend whose name was Mercutio. So one day Mercutio and Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio, are walking down a street and they meet Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. He was wondering where Romeo was, so he could challenge him to a duel for showing up at the Capulets feast. A bunch of insults are thrown there and back, and Mercutio gets killed. When Romeo comes down and sees the scene he gets infuriated and murders Tibalt. None of this would have happened if Romeo didn’t go to the feast and met Juliet. He found love yet lost a friend. Just imagine how he must feel. He lost a good friend...
